This was a very interesting tour, although short. My favorite thing was learning about the wood of the barrels and the aging process. Made to accommodate a large crowd but it is a relatively short tour. There is a video based on the history of rum and Macorix. I would prefer to see more of the process being done, etc. We tried 8 different drinks and they were all good. Just remember that's 8 shots ha. You'll walk out feeling a bit tipsy/drunk just enough to go spend an unreasonable amount on rum at their gift shop 😂 Plenty of photo opportunities but no flash photography.

What a joke. If you want to taste the rum, by all means, go to their beautiful tasting room but don't bother with the distillery 'tour'. You go into a hallway, look at barrel, watch a 4 minute video that barely touches on the process of making rum and then they herd you into a room and let you taste mostly sweet, flavored rums. I literally asked when the tour was going to start and they said that was it! Hahaha. The video. Very lame. The grounds are pretty and the rum is pretty good though.

I did this as part of city tour. Was fun if you like rum. We do get to taste 7 types of rum. The entrance is dark for dramatic effect only. They say the barils are full but tap on a few and they are empty. Then we watch a cute 7 min video. Then we taste. We don't really visit the rum.making.

If you love rum, this place is a must-visit for you, if you happen to visit Puerto Plata. You'll know a little bit of history by watching a video presentation for few minutes before the rum tasting. The have different varieties of rum and although I'm not a big drinker, I love their flavored rum particularly the coconut. I love the facilitator, Edgardo, he is very cordial and engaging. Overall, the staff is great and the store is spacious and beautifully designed.

There is a tour every 15 minutes and the cost is $4/ person. Your walk through a small area where they explain about the barrels and aging, you watch a 4 minute film and then to the tasting room. They first tasting is the strongest and my favorite was close to the end …pineapple! There is a gift shop and a bathroom. There is a bar in the gift shop and the sell popsicles with or without rum.

Awesome place. We came here on a city tour. Friendly staff, very clean and very well organized and well kept location. The Rum tasting event was great also. Great flavor, strong Añejo lol (45% alcohol). The flavor rum was sooooo delicious!

Really tasty. I barely remember what the tour guide said or what the video was about after the tasting part which is how you know it was good. Probably my favorite rum I've tried.

They have a highly recommended tour for $4 in which they briefly guide you through the rum curing area. It has a video room and another to taste different types of Macorix rum. My guide has been P. C. and the experience has been a 10! The tour ends in a store where you can buy souvenirs and also some social work clothing.

We visited on a shore excursion from a cruise. It was one of several stops. This isn't a factory tour; still, we enjoyed it. We started with a short film about the founding of the factory and how rum is made. After that, we were taken into a room and given tastes of several varieties of rum. Some were almost whiskey-tasting. Others were sweeter. Overall, an interesting tour, but none of the rum appealed to me.

Loved the experience. Rum is amazing. So much so we brought home 4 bottles. Informative tour with a chance to sample 8 different kinds of rum. Employees really fun

There's something special about rum tastings in the Caribbean and Macorix is no different. In fact, it's one of the best tour/tasting combos out there. For $4USD you get to taste 6 or 7 (I lost count) different rums from their 8 year to their flavored rums. It was so much fun and worth the ride share trip from the Amber Cove cruise terminal. Skip the cruise line sponsored tours and make your own excursion to Macorix House of Rum!

You may get over excited about going here, but dont! Pay a small fee, wait for a tour, then you enter what seems like a "haunted house", but in reality you entered into the cask storage barn. You can not see anything except the wooden rum barrels next to you. The aroma of rum (the angels share) fills the air. Then a short video and onto the only good part, the tasting!! After that its over. You get what you pay for basically.

Best to visit if you love rum. Plus it's affordable to buy drinks there. If your a tourists who is visiting from USA.

Nice family owned place, local made rum and very cheap. 2 tour guides and $100 in tips. However.....the rum is nasty. They let you sample 8 different kinds.

The tour was fantastic. The history of rum making on the island was explained by a guide and video. The aging room was really awesome. There are so many barrels of aging rum! At the end of the tour, we sampled 8 to 10 types of rum. They were very generous with their pours and refills. Highly reccomend.

Nice short tour, not really into how they make the rum, just more history. Samples were more of the spiced and fruity varieties and not the higher end samples.

The home of DR rum. We tour was great where we learned about the history od DR rum. The tasting was so much fun. The pours were quite generous. The hosts were fun and extremely engaging. Bring a snack you will need it after. We would do this tour again.

Tour was part of a cruise excursion. Quick history and short walk through of how the process works. At the end there is a tasting of six different flavored rums. There is also a shop to purchase what you liked. Prices are unbeatable.

The best rum I’ve ever had!!! If we ever travel to the DR again we are definitely coming back. Recommend their tour for sure. Its not too long and they are very liberal with the wine.

Very interesting, rum tasting

Great little tour with some good information. The trip through the barrels is cool and then the tasting. If you like rum, fun, and history this is a must see

The Apple was great !!!!!!

Lots of information on the history of distilling rum. Tours every 15 minutes. LOTS of rum to taste. You'll leave happy.

Great place to learn about the Rum. Unfortunately, it's not a factory tour. But still having samples of their rums at the end of the tour along with some historical pieces on display does make it a stop worth checking out. Definitely pass by the gift shop. Their in-house Rum is affordable and smooth.

Love visiting local businesses while one vacations. This was an amazing distillery tour, very affordable, even offered tastings of their different rums. My favorite was the Gran Reserve.

Good tour. I would recommend this. Nine sample testing and a store right on grounds. Great rum.

Rum. Lots of it. Some of it flavoured or exotic. Rinse. Repeat. Do I really need to explain?

We tasted different types of Rum, and also learned the history of Macorix House of Rum! Very cool experience!

Not a strong Rum...but a good Rum. The tour is $4. Try the Rum and Virgin popsicles

I took the tour of the visitor center with rum tasting. The staff were all friendly. We were able to taste 8 or 9 different rums. After which, we stopped for a few minutes at the on-site store. The store also has a bar that sells rum drinks.

Nice short tour of the rum factory. Cost 4 dollars and you get to sample several flavors of rum. There is also a gift shop where you can purchase rum and my favorite...the rum popsicles.

Great place to taste some rum but really you dont see anything. They walk you into a warehouse that is very dark while telling you no flash photography. Then they take you to a large room to watch the history of the rum factory afterwards you are rush you into the tasting room. The rum was top choice but you could skip this tour and go straight to the bar to get the same thing

Great deals on rum would definitely recommend visiting

It's okay the tour is really short and then brings you to the gift shop.

Short tour. But fun. A good amount of samples and a great selection to purchase from.

(Translated by Google) Part of the city tour and cable car excursion. Disappointing since you enter the barrel room to enter an exhibition room to finish with a tasting and stop at the shop. So we don't really visit the factory and we don't see the manufacturing method. (Original) Faisant partie de l'excursion Tour de ville et téléphérique. Décevant puisque l'on entre dans la salle des barils pour entrer dans une salle d'exposition pour finir avec une dégustation et arrêt à la boutique.

Loved it!

Very interesting. Samples of different rums were delicious. Good host.

We decided to take a taxi guided tour off the cruise and were so happy we did. Our guide brought us to the famous rum factory where we were able to take a tour with a group. We started in their liquor store while we waited to join others for the tour. They had popsicles for $1 w/o liquor and $2 with. Yes!!! We then went for a tour of the factory where we learned the history of rum and got to try their famous island rum. It was so smooth you didnt need a chaser. Their prices are amazing ($4 for the tour) and we got to learn more about the island and its heritage.

Fun (short-ish) tour (20 mins or so) but with great information on the history of rum and the island. LOTS of FREE samples and very inexpensive bottles for sale at the factory store...if you're.on a cruise however, the rum is even less expensive by a couple of dollars.at the duty free store.at the port. Regardless of where you.purchase it, it's the best.value you.can find for good rum.

Great your and great samples of nice flavored rums. If you go on a empty stomach, as we did, you will catch a nice buzz by end of your and 10-12 samples...mmmm

Great tour and you get to try 10 different rums.

(Translated by Google) Great place very stylish and beautiful! guys treat rum sober no one left a fun team well done !! (Original) Отличное место очень стильно и красиво! ребята угощают ромом трезвым никто не вышел весёлая команда молодцы!!

(Translated by Google) There is good rum here. (Original) Hier gibt es guten Rum.

Great place to teach you about the history of run in the Dominican republic and get free samples.

Very generous with the samples. Not a large tour. It was just a small walk-through where it was dark so you couldn't really see much of anything. Then there was a video. Cost was only $4 so not bad. Definitely would not have paid more than that. If you are going for the samples then you will be happy. If you are going for the tour, you probably will be disappointed.

Great place worth to visit!

We had a brief tour, watched a video on the history of rum, taste tested 8 different rums, took pictures, and shopped. Loved it!

Interesting tour!! Lots of testing!! Can take 5 liters home to the U.S. That's a lot of rum!! 🍷🧉🧋

Very informative and you get to sample 8 different types of rum

Very informative movie. Our guide was very nice and humorous.

Very cool place. Tour is a little lacking. More of a quick tour video, and rum store. I wish hey showed us the production process. Good rum, I like the spiced.version.

Short narrated walk through barrel storage, followed by short movie of Macorix family and brand, finished by degustation.

Interesting history and they are willing to share free samples. Friendly hosts.

Great experience over all. Quick tour, had an opportunity to try all of their rums. And ended up buying multiple bottles. The prices are great for a great bottle of rum.

We Tasted 8 Different Rums My Favorite was Coconut And Pineapple It Was A Beautiful Experience

Wish the tour was longer,but it was almost free to go, decent tasting Rum. And great prices on gifts and souvenirs.

It was a neat tour just be aware that most of it is a movie. The tasting was well done at the end.

A tour costs $4US. Tour is fairly short but interesting. Highlights some important factors in producing rum. Tour ends with a as short video. After the tour you sample 8 or so different rums. Will give second tastes if you want. After the tour you head to the retail shop. Truly amazing prices. Beats the airport duty free by at least $3 a bottle.

Fantastic guided tour learning of the distilling process and tastes of different aged runs.

I wasn't really impressed with the tour, it was only slightly interesting to me. You walk through a dark room full of rum barrels abs watch a short informative movie at the end, followed by a rum taste test and a visit to their store. The Rebel brand rum however was excellent.

This was part of our tour. If we could have skipped it I would have. It took up about 30 minutes. Watched a video, had a tasting and time to shop. We did try and it was good. We did not buy. The rum popsicles I do highly recommend.

Didn't get to taste the rum cus of my condition but my husband said it was good and different flavors. The tour as nice.

Short tour with audio and visual presentation. Walk through an aging room, tastings and gift shop. Friendly associates. Nice property but not a big tour.

Visited during a cruise. We enjoyed the informational video and tastings. I really e wanted to see the manufacturing process, but maybe we didn't get that chance, due to covid.

Wonderful experience. The tour was fun (there is rum) and informative.

The tour and atmosphere was fun and the majority in our group liked the flavored rum offerings, but we went at the end of a 5.5 hour tour of Puerto Plata and all I was looking forward to was returning to our ship, so my view was slightly skewed.

Visited as part of a tour provided by RV Private Tours. What an enjoyable tour it was. We sampled 7 different types of rum and by the end of the tour i was giggling like a school child. The gift shop also sold alcoholic popsicles. Overall it was a great experience.

I do not drink.... ewwww... I am 48 yrs old and recently took a sip of beer..YUCK... on this trip we went to a museum and we tried a local Rum.... tasted pretty good. Again, I don't drink... but our guide brought my wife, who does drink, and I to this Rum Factory. Well, the presentation was amazing. It was in Spanish and English, and at the end, you do some Rum tasting... I gave in to the pressure and apparently.... I AM NOW A DRINKER!!! Seriously though. After the tour we went into their store and purchased 2 - 1750ml bottles for a low $20 each. Yeah, amazing deal. I like the spice of it. The wife and I have pretty much had a shot a day so far since returning to the states. I highly recommend it!!!!

Took a tour of the island and our driver took us here. It was an awesome experience! The tour of the factory was neat and we even got to taste several flavors of rum! The gift shop has all the flavors of rum they make for sale at incredible prices and even have rum flavored popsicles for sale.

Beautiful Rum House with lots of little exhibitions and there’s a short video inside about the history of Macorix! After that you go through the rum tasting and then you can buy your own rum in the shops! It’s a neat location to stop buy to enjoy local rum!

We did the tour and they give you full shot tastes well at least I received full shots :) Amazing flavor best rum I’ve had in my life. Highly recommend friendly people that get you feeling good 5 shots yah!! Whoop whoop! All for 4 dollars US.

Short tour through the local rum factory. Costs 4 dollars per person (USD). You can sample the rum before you purchase.

Went to it on a tour. Rum tasting was good. Video was very informative. Crew was positive and had great energy!

Very rich history. The tour was fast but the best part, the tasting, was thorough.

Wonderful experience, and the rum is awesome. I bought 3 bottles!

Had a great visit. Short 10 minute video, then straight to the rum tasting. Be warned, they start strong, then move to the lighter rums. I am not a drinker, so I went slowly. Others in the tour group were not so cautious. So there was a drunken mob element to the rest of the day.

Ms. Priscilla provided an excellent tour experience. She was very courteous and knowledgeable on the matter. It was very Interesting to learn about the history of rum and the family behind it. Excellent and tasty variety of products. Couldn’t make up my mind on which ones to get. Definitely recommend paying a visit to Macorix House of Rum next time you find yourself in Puerto Plata.

This was a last-minute tour that my wife and I decided to do on our cruise. This was a great experience. If you are ever in DR, I recommend that you do a tour of this place.
